Abstract

L'invention concerne un amortisseur de vibrations hydraulique (1) comportant un contenant (2), un tube intérieur (3), qui est agencé dans le contenant (2), un piston (5), qui est agencé dans le tube intérieur (2) de manière à pouvoir se déplacer axialement et dont l'espace intérieur est divisé en une première chambre de travail (6) et en une deuxième chambre de travail (7), un élément d'étanchéité (12), par l'intermédiaire duquel le piston (5) repose contre le tube intérieur (3), afin d'étanchéifier la première et la deuxième chambre de travail (6, 7) l'une par rapport à l'autre, une soupape (11) à commande électrique destinée à relier la première et la deuxième chambre de travail (6, 7), qui est agencée sur le piston (5), et une soupape de fond (10), qui est agencée sur une partie d'extrémité axiale du tube intérieur (3), afin de relier la deuxième chambre de travail (7) à un espace de compensation (9) formé entre le contenant (2) et le tube intérieur (3). La soupape de fond (10) fait saillie par une partie (13) de manière axiale dans la deuxième chambre de travail (7). Le piston (5) comprend une position de fonctionnement, dans laquelle il entoure radialement la partie (13), faisant saillie dans la deuxième chambre de travail (7), de la soupape de fond (10), l'élément d'étanchéité (12) étant situé, dans cette position de fonctionnement, à hauteur de la soupape de fond (10).
